The bandits were later safely captured, the leader was sentenced to a death penalty, and the other members were made into labor slaves.

This time, the capture of the bandits was late, there was a lot of damage, the bandits were cunning, and there was a problem on the Merchants Guilds side. Improvements were presented from the Adventurers Guild.

What kind of merchandise or what luggage are the peddlers carrying are now not disclosed to the guild, and thanks to that, rather than specialized large trading corps, single peddlers are now thriving.

In the past, the system allowed the large merchant corps to sell the goods at lower prices than peddlers.

In order to prevent that, the Merchants Guild aims to standardize the wholesale price of goods within the guild. It eliminates the problem of who and where sells what product for which price.

Not knowing the price allows the large merchant corps undercut the prices of the peddlers, making them lose theirjobs. As a result, many small merchants were saved.

Since then, there has been almost no disclosure of information.

However, this time, the system to protect merchants backfired and the lives of many people were lost.

It means that theres still a hole in the system.

Failure, improvement, and failure again theres progress with repetition. Although many victims came out of this, its good that there were improvements made out of this.

Thats what the guild reported to Meluerina and others.

Because Onnes assisted the bandits too, although unwillingly because of a hostage situation, it was announced that he will be sentenced to two years of manual labor. However, there is no danger to his life as he was sent there for a short period of two years in a form of a worker, instead of a slave.

It has most likely turned out like this because of Volsungs suggestion.

Lilia has been sent to an orphanage while Onnes doing the manual labor. She will be lonely being separated from her father for two years is what they thought, but the orphanage Lilia has been entrusted to is close to the workplace, so they are able to meet every day.

That also has been arranged only thanks to Volsung. Elf-samas words cant be bluntly shut down.

Originally, Volsung had no intention of helping Onnes, but he changed his action when Dirkhert told himPlease help Lia!. Those who didnt know that must be thinking that it wasElf-samas compassion. The public appearances of the elf Volsung are steadily rising.

Ah~ so noisy

No matter how good evaluation Volsung receives from people other than Dirkhert, he doesnt care. Rather, he doesnt want anything to do with it, thats why he spilled such words which were on his mind unconsciously.

Vol is popular, isnt he?

I dont need favor from anyone but Dirk-sama

Volsung lifts Dirkhert who was sitting next to him and ti~ghtly hugs him.

I just need Dirk-sama in my life

Brother-in-law-sama, you are saying something perverted-ish

When hugging Dirkhert, the piled up anger Volsung felt towards the humans that are making a fuss about him disappeared, which made Meluerina raise a certain question.

Even though he received a shock and thoughtPerhaps I might be a pervert, it clearly indicated how the case of Volsungs affection for his Maou-sama started growing worse.

Thus, the bandit uproar has been ended.
